Today's Topics: 1. ALA Annual 2015: Call for reporters: Still some sessions left! (Elaine Franco)
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Thank you to all the volunteers who are going to write reports on ALCTS preconferences, programs, and forums! There are still many sessions left, so I've appended the list of sessions below. The ones that have been claimed already have the reporter's name in red; the others are still up for grabs. Please let me know if you're interested in volunteering to report on any of them. Thanks! Rebecca ================================================= Dear ALA Annual Conference Attendees, ALCTS News is looking for volunteers to report on ALCTS preconferences, programs, and forums. If you're attending one of the following programs, please let me know if you would be interested in writing a report for publication in ALCTS News. I also welcome suggestions for reports on other ALA events that would be of interest to the ALCTS membership. Reports should summarize the information presented and any particularly interesting points raised. Report length can be in the range of 400-600 words, but this is flexible. An abbreviated list of all programs and forums is below; complete descriptions are attached. Please reply soon and let me know if you're interested. Please respond to me directly, not the list :)! Thank you!
